Description
There are no beaten paths to Glory's height,There are no rules to compass greatness known;
Each for himself must cleave a path alone,
And press his own way forward in the fight.
Smooth is the way to ease and calm delight,
And soft the road Sloth chooseth for her own;
But he who craves the flower of life full-blown,
Must struggle up in all his armor dight!
What though the burden bear him sorely down
And crush to dust the mountain of his pride,
Oh, then, with strong heart let him still abide;
For rugged is the roadway to renown,
Nor may he hope to gain the envied crown
Till he hath thrust the looming rocks aside.
The Path
by Paul Laurence Dunbar

This is really wonderful. I love the absence of color and light - it makes it so intense.

I want it to keep it as simple as it can be for a deeper understanding of the message. Thank you for your appreciation dear

Near the far end of the stairway it's an old church. So, yes...somehow can be the Path to the Heaven.

Super dragut...... Un loc foarte interesant, oare unde le gasesti? reusesti de fiecare data sa ma uimesti cu o noua creatie originala.......

Merci mult de comentariu... Am ferma convingere sa numai ochii nostrii refuza sa vada locuri frumoase in Romania. Poate de la prea multa cafea, eu ii tin mai larg deschisi.
Fotografia a fost facuta in Cetatea Sighisoarei. Ceea ce vezi este Pasajul Scarilor, cunoscut si sub denumirea de Scara Scolarilor. A fost construita undeva pe la 1600 si scopul principal era sa faciliteze accesul elevilor la scoala aflata pe dealul din interiorul cetatii.

intradevar..... obiceiul majoritatii este sa vada numai lucrurile care ii preocupa, de fapt intr-o privinta asa suntem toti, chiar dak am avea o comoara in fata nu am reusii sa o vedem..... dar oare o sa fim mereu atat de orbi. ....
in fine reusesti sa gasesti mereu lucruri interesante de imortalizat, asta este o calitate pe care nu foarte multi o au , eu spre exemplu cand imi iau aparatul pur si simplu nu gasesc nimik interesant, park toate lucrurile interesante ar fugii din calea mea.....
Trebuie sa vizitez o data si cetatea Sighisoarei, pare chiar interesanta.....

Multam fain de comentariu. Am facut-o in Sighisoara iar locatia exacta este Pasajul Scarilor (sau Scara Scolarilor).
